Abstract
Abstract A connector ( 19 ) includes a connector housing including a first housing ( 33 ); and a second housing ( 35 ) mated with the first housing ( 33 ). The first housing includes a first chamber ( 21 ); and a second chamber ( 37 ) communicating with the first chamber ( 21 ). The second chamber ( 37 ) has the second housing ( 35 ) inserted therein. The second housing includes a first wall ( 54 ) defining a channel ( 53 ). The connector includes a terminal ( 29 ) mounted into the connector housing. The terminal includes a contact part ( 25 ) accommodated in the first chamber ( 21 ) for electrically connecting with a mating terminal. The terminal includes a mounting part ( 27 ) extending outwardly from the second housing ( 35 ). The terminal includes a press-in part ( 79 ) between the contact part ( 25 ) and the mounting part ( 27 ). The press-in part ( 79 ) is pressed in the channel ( 53 ) against the first wall ( 54 ).
